... Faults are approximately planar breaks in the Earth's crust and mantle. Crustal blocks moving quickly along a fault produce vibrations or waves, which radiate out in all directions away from the fault and fault blocks. What we experience in an earthquake is those vibrations along the surface of the ...

Theory of plate tectonics

... The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth’s lithosphere is broken up into plates. These plates continually move and change shape and size.  When plates move, they cause earthquakes and volcanoes along the plate boundaries.  Plates move slow-on average 5 cm a year!  Plate motion is cause ...

Earthquake casualty estimation



Recent advances are improving the speed and accuracy of loss estimates immediately after earthquakes (within less than an hour) so that injured people may be rescued more efficiently. After major and large earthquakes, rescue agencies and civil defense managers rapidly need quantitative estimates of the extent of the potential disaster, at a time when information from the affected area may not yet have reached the outside world. For the injured below the rubble every minute counts.To rapidly provide estimates of the extent of an earthquake disaster is much less of a problem in industrialized than in developing countries. This article focuses on how one can estimate earthquake losses in developing countries in real time.
